Great car!

This was my first Olds. Had 58k when I got it and it was a great car. Handled great, roomy, very comfortable with lots of room in front and in back. Leather seats, AM/FM cassette & CD player. CD player was glitchy and I quit using it. The digital information control was also intermittent & giving error codes. Other than that it was a solid car and great to drive. I took it on several road trips and wow...500 miles to empty, avg 35 mpg on a long trip with air ride for added comfort. I was amazed and loved this car. Not so great to look at...a big boat but oh so nice to own!

ONE OF THE BEST OLDSMOBILES TO OWN IS THE OLDS 98!

I OWN 4 OLDSMOBILE NINETY EIGHTS. I HAVE 2 1991 OLDS 98, A 1992 OLDS 98 AND A 1996 OLDS 98 AND PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS BEGGING ME TO SALE THEM BUT I WONT. THIS CAR WAS THE LAST CAR OF OLDS ROYALTY. ITS ROOMY AND SPACIOUS, GETS GOOD GAS MILEAGE AND THEY ARE EASY TO MAINTAIN. EVEN TODAY IN 2017 THIS CAR HOLDS ITS OWN UP AGAINST THE NEWER CADILLACS AND BUICKS.
